Breathing

There are few cds that I can just lie down and listen to without needing to be busied by anything else, and Lifehouse's No Name Face is one. Their singles are released on the radio and sound quite secular when you first hear them, but if you really examine the lyrics and then listen to the entire album, you realize that they are in fact, Christian. It turns out that they were a Christian band before they were released as mainstream. I have a couple of their cd's and No Name Face is my favourite. I bought it when I was going through a particularly difficult time and found it really spiritual. At the time I was learning how to trust God and rely on Him for helping me through challenges.

I've always used music to comfort, energize, or relax me, and it's nice to also have songs that can help me connect with God.

Here are the lyrics to my favourite song on No Name Face; it's called "Breathing".

I'm finding my way back to sanity again
Though I don't really know what i'm gonna do when i get there
I take a breath and hold on tight
Spin around one more time
And gracefully fall back to the arms of grace

Cause I am hanging on every word you're saying
Even if you don't wanna speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
Cause I want nothing more than to sit outside heaven's door
And listen to you breathing
Its where i wanna be, yeah
Where I wanna be

I'm looking past the shadows in my mind into the truth
And i'm trying to identify the voices in my head
God, which one's you
Let me feel one more time what if feels like to feel
And break these caluses off me one more time

Cause I am hanging on every word you're saying
Even if you don't wanna speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
Cause I want nothing more than to sit outside of your door
And listen to you breathing
Its where I wanna be, yeah

Oh i don't want a thing from you
Bet you're tired of me waiting for
The scraps to fall off of your table to the ground
La da da da...
Cause i just wanna be here now

Cause I am hanging on every word you're saying
Even if you don't wanna speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
Cause I want nothing more than to sit outside heaven's door
And listen to you breathing
Its where i wanna be, yeah
Where I wanna be

Cause I am hanging on every word you're saying
Even if you don't wanna speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
Cause I want nothing more than to sit outside heaven's door
And listen to you breathing
Its where i wanna be, yeah
Where I wanna be
